Oops sorry bandit, I didn't mean to contradict you-just my thoughts!!
Your budget is very optimistic for April as its the school holidays!
I would go to livigno on a stag-high enough at 1800m for good snow, last year it was 20degrees and there was still excellent coverage bu mainly the après and nightlife is mentally good. It's also tax free so cheap as chips for drinking!

Pretty much exactly what you said, some people will tell you to lean back, I don't think this is right-you are just more over the centre of the ski instead of the front.
Try making long smooth turns by applying gradual pressure not jumpy sharp hop turns.

Others will hopefully have different suggestions but those would be my two tips fwiw

Oh and perseverve cos it's great when you crack it!!
